Bridge Finder
Berlin is short of footbridges and yet has so many rivers and other interesting sites that are crying out for a bridge. Working with the Berlin Bridge Department of the Institute of Conceptual and Structural Design at the TU Berlin, we have identified six central locations that are typical of Berlin, and where footbridges are needed. So began the “World’s Footbridges for Berlin” project. Participants from all over the world submitted many curious, intelligent, visionary footbridge designs. The precious collection of 73 selected bridge designs are mapped in the microsite “Bridge Finder”, a digital compass, to explore the context of the project and the city. The “Bridge Finder” first shows the nearest location and then all other locations with information on walking distances. It informs the user of the respective bridge design and invites the user to go for a stroll.
